In Han Jian's eyes, although Ning Yuan is not the kind of courtier with great talents, he can at least do big things without being surprised, and suddenly it is not good to say that something big is wrong, so it can't really happen a big thing?

"Ning Shangshu said, what happened?" Han Jian was not in a hurry, at the moment Ning Yuan was not involved in some important matters of the imperial court, no matter how big the matter in Ning Yuan's mouth was, it would not affect the stability of the current situation in Luoyang and even in the north.

Ning Yuan took a breath before he said: "Today, when I sent the show girls in the palace, several people hanged themselves, and now even the corpses have been sent to the capital." This one...... It's not that the old minister intends to embarrass you with the king of the east, it's really ...... Somehow. ”

Rao is Han Jian also made preparations, but he didn't expect things to be so "outrageous". How could some women who are good hanged themselves for no reason?

"Where is the body?" Han Jian asked.

"Please come with the minister."

Ning Yuan said, taking Han Jian to the palace gate, but saw several women lying on the ground in the huge palace courtyard, their clothes looked neat, but their faces were pale. Even the dead can be dressed so neatly, and they are still sent to the palace, which obviously carries some provocative meaning.

There was a medical officer next to him who was examining the corpses, but after all, the examination of the corpses was a done thing@♂, but this was not difficult at all, because the cause of death could be discerned from the strangulation marks on the necks of these women. As for whether there are other reasons, it will have to be examined in detail.

"Your Highness, ...... look" Ning Yuan looked embarrassed, this time he was the one who convened and initiated, but it can be said that some families would not send the celebrity ladies to the palace if they didn't have his Zhang Luo. Now that he was sent a few corpses, in addition to the possibility that the court might blame him for not doing things well, he was also a little unable to explain to those family members. It is equivalent to saying that he killed these women in disguise.

Han Jian stood there and didn't say anything for a long time.

For him. Things are still too unbelievable. It stands to reason that the reason why these women died was because the family behind them didn't want to have anything to do with the imperial court, so they simply sacrificed their own girlfriends to send a corpse over, so it was a hundred. It makes sense, but Han Jian feels that things are not so simple. The family of Luoyang City, the big one can involve several generations, and the marriageable women are unmarried from the age of fourteen to seventeen or eighteen, abounding, even if one dies, you can find someone else to come out and replace it, is there still an end to dying like this?

Moreover, the palace is only here to choose a concubine, and not everyone will be accepted by Yang Xi. Even if you want to hang yourself, should you wait for the outcome of the matter? Or are you afraid that these women will be isolated from the outside world after they arrive in the palace, and they will not be able to make themselves cut off at that time, so they will simply kill them at home, and they will be killed?

"Can you verify your identity?" Han Jian asked.

Ning Yuan was stunned and said, "Verify the right body?" ”

Han Jian said: "Now that a few corpses are being sent, they don't even find out who they are, so they let the people of each family be so confused?" If you just find someone to hang yourself and send it over. said that she was a show girl who had passed the primary selection, and hid her own show girl. Wouldn't it be easy? ”

Ning Yuan also hesitated, just now he was afraid that the court would pursue him, and on the other hand, he felt sorry for the family members, so he didn't have the heart to think about it so much. After Han Jian's reminder, he also felt that something was wrong, and nodded: "The old minister will send someone to investigate." ”

Han Jian waved his hand and let him go. Now only a few corpses are sent, and there is no change in the overall situation of the entire concubine selection. There are fifty or sixty people who passed the primary election this time, so what does it matter if a few die? It's a big deal. Even if the people of each family die, there are still "filial daughters" sent by the place, and there is no power behind these women. They will not care about the power struggle in Luoyang City now, and no one will make them hang themselves because of this.

Asking people to carry the body elsewhere temporarily, Han Jian went directly to Ye'an Pavilion.

As soon as he arrived at the door of Ye'an Pavilion, the little eunuch stepped forward and reminded: "Your Majesty is inside...... Lose one's temper. ”

Han Jian nodded slightly, and then approached the door, but he heard the sound of smashing things inside, as well as Yang Rui's constant cursing.

"Please give your majesty a greeting." Han Jian entered the door and saluted.

"Please, please?" Yang Rui put down the inkstone in his hand again, and said angrily, "You should tell me, what kind of prestige do I have when I am the emperor?" Even if the affairs of the court are handled by you, even the powerful subordinates will be eradicated by you. Now I don't want to worry about those things, I just want to give birth to the child with peace of mind and be the wife of your Dongwang Mansion. But it's good now, I just want to choose a woman for my younger brother to accompany her, and I can actually send the dead over, but I want the sixth brother to live with the dead? ”

Yang Rui was angry, and his words were not polite at all.

Han Jian didn't argue with Yang Rui about anything, and sighed slightly: "I have already started to send someone to investigate." It may not be as simple as you seem. ”

"Am I looking simple? Hmph, what else is there to check here? Now everyone in Luoyang only knows that there is your East King, and there is no emperor. They would rather kill all their daughters than send them to the palace to choose for Xi'er and marry my in-laws. When they were scrambling to send their daughters to you, why didn't they say how many dead people they would send to you? ”

Han Jian sighed and said, "If I really accepted it at the beginning, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no such trick." ”

Yang Rui said angrily: "So you regret it? Do you think I've delayed you from spending all day drinking to be your uncrowned emperor? It's too late for you to regret it now, go back and tell those people, dare to guarantee that even if they marry their daughters, they will be welcomed back to your house immediately, and you can be blessed with them every day like an emperor......"

The more Yang Rui spoke, the more angry he became, and finally he whimpered, and he couldn't help crying while sitting there.

This cry, as if he couldn't control it, put his head between his arms, and lay on the desk for a long time without subsidence.

Han Jian can probably understand the grievances and helplessness in Yang Rui's heart, plus she is pregnant, so she also treats herself as an ordinary woman, even angry, and does not have the spirit of being an emperor before.

"Okay, don't be upset. It's just a few people, and it won't affect the prince's choice of concubines, and crying like this will only hurt his body. Han Jian stepped forward and leaned on Yang Rui's body.

Yang Rui Lihua looked up at Han Jian with rain and said angrily: "It's easy to say. If Xi'er knew about it, do you think he still has the heart to accept the people around him? Or is it related to you, and you deliberately don't want Xi'er to get better sooner? ”

Han Jian said: "Why do you rely on me for everything?" I also learned about the situation from Ning Shangshu when I arrived at the gate of the palace. ”

"The surname Ning is not a good person, he has never listened to you, maybe he wants to please you, what do he do in private?" Yang Rui said. But even she herself felt that Han Jian was not such a sinister person, and in order to keep Yang Xi uneasy, she even did not hesitate to kill a few of the princesses for selection, which made Yang Xi feel afraid. But even if she didn't believe it in her heart, she still had to pay attention to it.

In the end, she was hugged by Han Jian into her arms for a little warmth, and her anger gradually subsided a little.

After a long time, Han Jian saw that Yang Rui's breath was already smooth, so he said, "The person has been sent to the palace, but now go and choose?" ”

"No need, just wait." Yang Ruidao. "I'm so tired and panicked, and I have been intriguing with people all day long...... Now it's with you, I really don't want to think about it too much, but there are some things I have to think about. ”

Yang Rui was also a little tired when he said this, but Han Jian picked Yang Rui up directly very domineeringly.

In the face of Han Jian's sneak attack, Yang Rui did not resist, and let Han Jian carry her to the desk from the chair where she was originally sitting. Sit at a desk instead.

Reaching out to untie Yang Rui's belt, Yang Rui had no intention of stopping Han Jian. At this time, he couldn't help but obstruct a little, and said, "It's not the time." ”

"When is that time?"

Han Jian didn't stop in his hands, he didn't even close the door, and directly began to untie Yang Rui's brocade clothes. Although Yang Rui is the emperor, she mainly wears plain makeup on weekdays, especially when she is pregnant. I didn't pay much attention to the way I dressed. But today, she went to choose a concubine for her younger brother as an emperor, so she had to come out in a gown, which also made Han Jian feel her graceful side.

In the past, Han Jian was quite helpless about the soft armor on her body, it was not easy to untie it at all, practice makes perfect. Now he is very proficient in the clothes on Yang Rui's body.

When Yang Rui sat there wearing only a small coat, Han Jian sighed softly, but he also felt that he was too domineering.

"What's the stop?" Yang Rui frowned and suddenly asked.

"Maybe it's not the right time, as you say." Han Jian said.

Yang Rui glanced at Han Jian and said, "When did you pay attention to these things?" Make me look like this, but say it's not time? ”

After Yang Rui became pregnant, coupled with Yang Rui's injury, and the recent public relationship between the two, there was little lingering, Yang Rui actually wanted to get Han Jian's care when she was pregnant, and once she lost Han Jian's company, she was more suspicious, and she would be so angry with Han Jian before. This time, Han Jian "messed around" with her in places like Ye'an Pavilion, although it was unseemly, but what she wanted after all was what she wanted. As a result, Han Jian disappointed her, how could she not be annoyed?

"I wonder if I should go over and close the door." Han Jian said with a smile.

Yang Rui glared at Han Jian, suddenly approached Han Jian, and bit Han Jian's shoulder, and the strength couldn't help but make Han Jian snort softly. Even through his clothes, Han Jian could still feel the tremendous strength exerted by Yang Rui, and he didn't let go of his mouth for a long time.

"Why?" Han Jian snorted lightly and pushed Yang Rui, and Yang Rui relented.

Han Jian touched the place where Yang Rui had bitten, and said in his heart that it would be strange if there was no bleeding.

"You negative person!" Yang Rui said angrily.

Even if Han Jian wanted to be warmer, he lost his patience because of Yang Rui's bite, and he no longer had the heart to pity the jade later. It's a little more rude.

Yang Rui gritted her teeth and kept silent, and simply let her body be at the disposal of Han Jian, and when she was really tortured by Han Jian, she finally couldn't help but shout.

There was a bit of charm in the back, Han Jian didn't care too much, he simply thought that he was the emperor, and Yang Rui was just a concubine who wanted to make compromises. At the end of the day, Yang Rui still looked a little overwhelmed, but he also stopped motionless.

Han Jian first put on his clothes, tidied them up a little, and went to the door to take a look, the little eunuchs and palace maids outside had already avoided them, and the noise made by Yang Rui just now was too loud, even if those little palace maids and eunuchs had no experience in this area, they could probably guess what was going on inside. Han Jian saw that no courtiers were approaching, so he closed the door.

Looking back, Yang Rui still looked lazy, as if his body had been drained of strength, and he didn't even want to wear clothes.

"Don't think I'm going to forgive you that way." Yang Rui was still a little annoyed and said, what he wanted to say was very imposing, but in this situation, no matter how imposing he was, he was weak.

Han Jian sighed and said: "It's better to finish the election of the crown princess earlier, and now Mrs. Gu is back to take care of the government, but he can't last too long after all, in a year or two, if the prince can't take care of the court, I'm afraid Mrs. Gu can only take a back seat." ”

Yang Rui frowned and said, "It sounds like you don't want the sixth brother to take charge of the dynasty." Besides Gu Taishi, can't you help more? ”

"Helper? Alas! Even if I want to help, do you think that the top and bottom of the Dongwang Mansion, as well as my two mothers and three mothers, will let me do it with all my heart? There are some things that I don't want to engage in, it's really out of time. Han Jian stepped forward, stood in front of the desk, stood for a while, and simply sat down in the chair. Yang Rui curled up slightly from the desk, she didn't feel cold just now, but after all, it was the deep winter wax moon, how could she not feel cold when she was so defenseless, and then she simply got off the desk, sat directly in Han Jian's arms, and casually draped the big coat that Han Jian had released on the desk just now on herself.

In this way, Yang Rui also looks a little charming.

"I know you're embarrassed." Yang Rui looked at Han Jian and suddenly said.

Han Jian didn't expect Yang Rui to have such a "considerate" side, and smiled helplessly, Yang Rui didn't blame him for being good, and now he will put himself in his shoes?

"After a while, the princess will accompany the concubine to choose a concubine for the sixth brother, and if you meet a good one, you want to take it away, and it will be up to you." Yang Rui leaned his head on Han Jian's arms and said.

Even if Yang Rui is "considerate", Han Jian can feel that she is insincere.

"Just choose the crown princess, I'll be by my side...... There is no shortage of women. Han Jian said, suddenly feeling a pain in his thigh, it turned out that Yang Rui's hand pinched his leg.

Yang Rui raised his head slightly and said, "This kind of thing is only allowed to be said by the concubine, not by you." Even if it is a good one, I will give it to you, but you can't take it yourself! ”

Han Jian smiled bitterly, Yang Rui, the name of this club, was still "testing" him before.

Han Jian hugged Yang Rui for a while before he said, "It's better to get up and get dressed earlier, you don't need me to serve you, right?" ”

"It's best, my hands are numb and I don't want to move." Yang Rui said suddenly, as if he was in Han Jian's arms, and he refused to get up. (To be continued......)
